The Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday announced changes to its list of office bearers, dropping senior leaders like Ram Madhav, P Muralidhar Rao and Anil Jain as general secretaries and appointing Karnataka MP Tejasvi Surya as the president of the party’s Yuva Morcha or youth wing in place of Poonam Mahajan.
The BJP also gave prominent posts to two former Trinamool Congress leaders Mukul Roy and Anupam Hazra. Roy was appointed as the party’s vice president, along with Annapurna Devi and Baijyant Jay Panda while Hazra was made national secretary. Maharashtra leaders Vinod Tawade and Pankaja Munde have also been appointed as secretaries. Former Union minister Gopinath Munde’s daughter Pankaja Munde has also been appointed the national secretary of the party.
The new appointments were announced by BJP President JP Nadda. This is the first major organisational change in the party to take place during his tenure. Unidentified party officials told PTI that the reshuffle was aimed at giving the party a pan-India look and bringing new faces on board.
